Controllers and Music services

I have 2 old play ones that I paired with 2 sonos era 100s and 3rd gen sub, can stream anything and all play, but when I stream an album from an iPhone to speakers only the era 100s will play ….. any advice will be appreciated,i know apple stopped airplay1 that's why I bought era 100s so these old speakers SONOS ONE could connect through bluetooth ?

Hi I am having issues with my S1 app and my play 5 Gen 1. I have tried connecting the play 5 to the S2 app but it telling me that it is not compatible and when I now try to open the S1 app it move to the S2. Can I connect the play 5 to the new controller or how do I get the S1 app to work. Clearly there has been some upgrades that have put a spanner in the works?

I’ve accepted that I now have to reset my MacOS 17.0 desktop app twice/day (when i bring my laptop to work and then back home).  It’s annoying, but whatever.However, riddle me this - my Music folder shows up at work, yet, at home, I am “unable to add (913)”.Same laptop, same app.  Just different locations and different “systems”.

What is the best way to manage double disks in my Music Library in Sonos?  I set the disk number to 1 and 2 in “Tag & Rename”, but this seems to be ignored by Sonos. I then set the track numbers to 101, 102, ...201, 202… but that did not work either in Sonos.  It seems that I have to include double CDs as two separate CDs, which is not ideal.  

I need to do some troubleshooting of a family member’s Sonos system I set up. This second system is in a different location. Can I change the iPhone Sonos app login to log in to this system (I have the username and password since I originally set up that system) without interfering with my own home system? 

I am dumping the Sonos products after they ruined it with the new app.  It never works correctly. Whoever made the new app should have been fired 

sonos Android app 80.23.9sonos OS 85-0-65270Android 14 Kernal 5.10.218 A minor but annoying problem with the Android App,  if you delete a playlist it will stay cached as an entry until you close and re-open the app.Thus if you want to delete a playlist and store a new one with the same name (as I was trying to do) then having deleted it when you go to add it as a new playlist the old one is still shown and it wont let you overwrite it.   You have to close and reopen the App to clear it. 

My Sonos app for Windows on my PC has stopped working. It says ‘We found Sonos on your system’ but then can’t find any products. Speakers all working fine from iphones. It’s just the PC app that isn’t. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the new version - no change….Any ideas please?

I have no way of adjusting the volume on a stereo pair of Play 3’s. They are not grouped. It says Stereo Pair Recent HistoryI just changed broadband providers however my router was connected to a mesh network that provided its own network (wifi and LAN) to Sonos and the Wifi was turned off on the router as it is now. When the broadband changed two days ago I had no issues, initially, with Sonos. However, the next morning I noticed that the Arc Ultra was not working and I had to power it off and on for it to re-add. That fixed the issue Then last night I was playing some music late at night and I tend to play it on all devices and i could hear the bedroom stereo pair really loudly Before the router change I had taken the two 3’s off the system as surronds to my Arc (not Ultra) and set them up as a stereo pair. That worked okay. So back to last night. I went to lower the volume on the stereo pair and there was no volume control.They just played very loud. As I type this, and check my fac

i have downstairs rooms running on S2.  5 bedrooms all have Play 5s running on S1 system. It used to work ok. But when I open the S1 app all it does is find the S2 system and tell me to switch to the S2 app. It happens on all my devices. I used to have many more Sonos devices, including in other properties. I’ve sold them all since the Sonos S2 introduction fiasco. 

Please can this be added as a feature? like many my plugs are behind heavy furniture and are hard to get to.  Unplugging from the speaker end is also tricky as the cable is connected very snuggly. If I only had to restart them once in a while, this would be ok.  Currently I have to restart them every couple of weeks to keep Apple AirPlay working. Many thanks,Danni.

Before Sonos “updated/downgraded” its IOS app, it was possible to add a song I was listening to one of my Deezer playlists. This is no longer possible in the IOS app… but you can still do it if you use the desktop app!!!!Sonos… please put back this feature on the IOS app, this would make our user experience and journey so much better! 

HiI have a problem with Era 100 pair when I airplay music from Apple Music. For some reason right speakers cuts out for a second or two. I have tried to stream with Bluetooth and then there is no cutting out. If I airplay it to another system on network there is no cutting outs. So only problem seems to be with Eras

In the past could have days every attempt to do anything in the Sonos app times out.  It doesn’t read my record player anymore, and the simple task of changing music preferences times out.    I have fantastic internet.. so it’s not me.   What’s happened?   I really don’t want to go through another badly planned upgrade. 

One gesture that could improve customer perceptions quite easily would be to allow people who have no interest in subscribing to Sonos Radio to remove it from their app search results. Adding this option would underscore the value Sonos places in the user experience on what is supposed to be a premium product, and by saying “we get it, you don’t want to be continually sold to when you are trying to find music you already own” would be a popular gesture while we wait for the full functionality of the previous app to return.

Specifically on the Youtube Music Service.The errors on Sonos app appear as a playback error then skips the song.“Playback paused because your account is being used in another location.”(You can see this for yourself, just try and play the album through your sonos.)Link to Album Playlist - Youtube This is sure to a viewer discretion pop up which cannot be disabled.  

Can anyone advise whether it is possible to save the current queue as a Sonos playlist using the IOS App?If yes, then could you please describe how to do this - I can’t find any option to achieve this basic function?If no, then why not?  Surely this basic function that was in the old App should be included?  If I’ve built myself a really nice set of songs in the queue how am I supposed to save it for future listening?  The only way I can see at present is to select each track in the queue individually and select ‘add to playlist’, which is a pretty sub-optimal solution?

HiI need to add a Connect but always ends in the message “login as systemowner”.Nothing I have read here at the SONOS Community is working… Any suggestions? This topic is created as I couldn’t reply to any other related topics… Best regardsBjarke

When I connect to Sonos One SL from the spotify app, it skips the currently playing song/podcast and goes to the next one. This is particularly bothersome since I loose my progress in Podcasts.I have reset my Sonos several times, but the issue persist.How can I diagnose this issue further? Is there a log file on the Sonos that I can read? 

I’ve just returned from a week away and can no longer connect to my Sonos speaker - basically the app doesn’t recognise that it exists. I’ve tried the various suggestions via the app and nothing works. Any insight would be gratefully received 

I would like to be able to play mp3 attachments which are sent to me via emails on my gmail account on an Android phone. I have a Sonos Era 100 and am already set up to play Spotify etc.  Thank you..

Why am I unable to play my Apple Music through Sonos? I have over 1000 songs in my Apple Music app (both on the PC and Iphone), but when I go into Sonos to play my music, it is requiring that I have a paid subscription to Apple Music, in order to play my own music. Is anyone able to figure out how to play my own music from the Apple Music app in Sonos?

Each time I log on to the Sonos web app, I need to choose between two systems. One is my own (CA14), and the other one is from an old apartment (R50). However I cannot delete the old one - and in the mobile app it does not show up (if it did I could switch to it and then “forget current system”).Any advice? 

I’m trying to add YouTube Music to my account in the Sonos app as follows:Add YouTube Music. I already have an account. Add YouTube Music account Please use the following code… Authorize After I put in the code Google says success. I then go back to the app as it says to do on the google page and after a moment it says YouTube Music wasn’t added. Tried on multiple devices and it does the same thing on both.
